They were interrupted by a knock on the door.<\/p>\n
“Who is it?” Charlotte said, motioning for Sheldon to be quiet.<\/p>\n
“It’s your mother. Who did you think it would be?”<\/p>\n
“I don’t know mom, I was hoping for a surprise.”<\/p>\n
“Sorry to disappoint you Charlotte. It’s just me.”<\/p>\n
“I’m already in bed. What’s up?”<\/p>\n
“I heard voices.”<\/p>\n
“Maybe it’s the television.”<\/p>\n
“We don’t have a TV, pumpkin. We’ve never had a TV. The voices were coming from your room. One of them wasn’t yours.”<\/p>\n
“School play.”<\/p>\n
“What?”<\/p>\n
“I’m practicing for the school play mom. I am supposed to play … a ghost.”<\/p>\n
Sheldon rolled his eyes, and Charlotte, turning from the door, looked at him helplessly. She was improvising. “Whoooo. Whooo. You know mom, lots of haunting sounds.”<\/p>\n
“Dear,” her mom said.<\/p>\n
“Not now, I need to rehearse.”<\/p>\n
“Really dear,” her mom said again, “there’s no point. I’m in the room.”<\/p>\n
Charlotte turned back around to face the door, only to see her mother standing there, staring.<\/p>\n
There was a moment of silence. Finally her mother said “You’ve got a ghost in your room.”<\/p>\n
Before Charlotte could answer, Sheldon jumped in. “You must be Charlotte’s mother. I’m glad to see you’re taking this so well. Very pleased to meet you. I’m …”<\/p>\n
“Yes,” Charlotte’s mom interrupted, “you must be Sheldon.”<\/p>\n
Sheldon looked pale, if a ghost can look pale. “How did you know that?”<\/p>\n
From behind him came another voice. “Because,” said the cat, “it’s the name of the book.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
